North Vancouver RCMP is investigating the theft of several North Vancouver City Fire Department (NVCFD) uniforms taken during a break-and-enter at a business earlier this week.
On October 5, North Vancouver RCMP responded to a reported break-and-enter at a dry cleaner in the 900 block of West 3rd Street in North Vancouver. Officers attended and reviewed CCTV footage from the business. Footage captured a man breaking in during the early morning of October 5 and stealing several NVCFD uniforms.
These uniforms included four shirts emblazoned with NVCFD crests (depicted below) and two pairs of black pants.
“Police are concerned that an unauthorized individual may try to wear the uniform to commit further crimes by impersonating a firefighter,” said Constable Mansoor Sahak, Media Relations Officer for North Vancouver. “Out of an abundance of caution, if anyone is suspicious of someone wearing a fire fighting uniform, they are encouraged to request further identification, such as employee ID, to confirm their identity.”
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 and quote file #2024-20392. Those who wish to provide information but want to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
